On the filings, Union Pacific (UNP) is the stronger stock right now — higher on our blended fundamentals-plus-verdict read, and we currently rate it HOLD.
Best-in-class rail margins and ROE, but four years of flat revenue at a full 21x — a quality compounder fully priced.
Wide-moat railroad in a genuine earnings down-cycle priced like a grower — its multiple on falling EPS is a poor risk/reward.
